Books About Marin Luther King Jr.

Every color, nation, tribe, immigrant, and story deserves a place in our studies.

As homeschool families we take it seriously to tell the diverse, rich tapestry of stories that make up our United States of America.

That is what we want our children to remember as we dive into the various dark and sad parts of our national history: the part that screams “United we stand, divided we fall!”

Now, more than ever before, we are working to unite our children with those in our nation who love our country, our collective story. Even the challenging or unsavory parts.

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day and here at The Peaceful Press we love our book lists!

It is such a joy to make sure that we include stories from a variety of perspectives in all of our curriculums.

Here are some powerful books about Martin Luther King Jr., what he said, and how he put it into action. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

-I Have A Dream by Martin Luther King Jr.

-My Daddy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by Martin Luther King
